Fascinating. A very vocal contingent has formed to oppose
the Rose Farm condos that are being proposed. I wonder how many of these people
support all the downtown beautifying projects that are going on? Or is it just
a “not in my backyard” response?
My own view has been clear: the Exeter government has caused
the overgrowth of the town in the name of increasing tax revenue and continues
to do so. This would be just another example of it. I can picture Darren "Aroma
Joe" Winham’s wide-eyed face at the prospect of all the new customers to this
mini-Portsmouth.
At, the same time, however, private property owners should
do what they please on their own property. The real conflict comes over the
allegedly “public” property: the rivers, the roads, the forests. Who owns them?
In practice, it is the government rulers, and they get to decide who gets to
use it based on their own political machinations. This is a conflict created by
government to enrich government. In truth, the homesteaders and taxpayers own
the “public” property, and once ownership is ceded to them, individuals can
sort out how to deal with it voluntarily.
